Those of you who make baby food for you LO, what type of containers do you use to freeze the food? Since I am a SAHM this year, I was planning on trying to make DD baby food. Any tips you have found would be great!!

a lot of people use ice cube trays. I had individual containers from one step ahead. I liked those bu tnext time will use ice cube trays also b/c it is cheaper.

I made it easy by doing it all in one day. I would get all my veggies and have all 4 burners going to steam them. Also had stuff in the oven. Than used my blender and food processor as stuff got done cooking. Dh would wash it after every veggie/fruit. If you use trays (I didn't) you will have to wait for each veggie to freeze in the tray so I would just pour the other veggies into tupperware and put them in the fridge and as stuff froze pop the cubes out into a bag and freeze the next item.

Ive been using Ice cube trays.  They are cheaper than the "baby food trays".  After they are done freezing, I just pop them into a ziplock baggy.  Ive also found this website to be helpful https://wholesomebabyfood.com/

I am not there yet, but my bf hated these. She cut herself a few times trying to get the food out.

i tried using ice cube trays but I had a very hard time getting them out.  I kept breaking the trays. so I got silicone mini muffin trays. worked much easier to get the food out of the trays. then after they were frozen, I would put them in ziplock baggies.

like these (sorry i cant make it a clicky one)

I also use ice cube trays and once frozen, just put them into a ziplock back.  Works great!

This is what I did.. although I needed DH to get the food out of the ice cube trays for me

I bought some trays with lids at Babies R Us. I did some with the ice cube trays too, but liked having the lids.

We still use them now. I divide pasta sauce and freeze, so I can make a quick pasta lunch or dinner for her.

I did too, but here is a tip, if you run water on the bottom of the ice cube tray for a few seconds, the food pops out much easier :-)

Thanks everyone. I have looked at the wholefoods website and saw some good stuff. I will have to try the small silicone trays as well since I have some at the house.
